Yeah I know it's a small error, or just some scratches but interesting coin never the less as it seem unexpected on a coin like this.

Hi ryurazu, maybe a die crack error?

What denomination are we looking at?

Looks like a small Die Crack but it wouldn't be rare as
there would be many others struck from that same die.

Seeing that crack crossing the rim in your photo suggests there wasn't much useful life left in that die! Is the coin at or close to MS, grade-wise?

Also, ryurazu, I'm curious (and always shopping): What kind of holder do you have this coin in? At this magnification, it looks almost as though the coin is snuggled into either fabric or some sort of styrofoam. Interesting...or maybe I don't get out enough.

Thanks in advance!
Tom

I think this would qualify as Spike Head.

Thanks for the opinions that's what I thought it was. For American audience it the coin not the error it's self.

It an 1992 1 dollar obviously the NTLC version but it would explain a lot of things, if the 1992 one dollar observer die crack/shattered.

The holder is a generic version, not something special only using it so I can handle the coin without touching it, it fits small Australian coinage.

...not sure what "generic" means in this context, but I thought I might try to get some of those if they're chemically/gaseously inert. Can you share a brand name or source?
Thanks in advance!

@JimmyD if only you knew that about the 1 dollar 1992 australia coin and actually looked into it

I'm asking for opinions on the coin with the error/die crack, my guess is its from one of the Brillant Unc set most likely the 1992 restrucked so as to why the die seem to be so later staged

@daltonista usually a "chinese scum?" (i think I'm allow to said that) site roughly 20 yuan not sure about shipping as that was bought back with me (before covid), as Amazon site are just dropshipping these sorts of thing. I definitely wouldn't recommend it for proof or items you want to place in outside setting or in direct sunlight.

Bump still looking for some info, or if anyone else has come around this on their set, or easter show example, or mint display.

Not sure - more recent mint set coins don't seem to the best of the best any more but I think they were closer to it in 1992.
Possibly it's from the set of five commemorative dollar coins, but it's also a small crack so maybe it was struck in 1992 and no one noticed the early stages of the die crack during production.

thanks for the reply MR.T yeah it might explain why 1992 1 dollar MOB of roos don't actually exist if they, very quickly had this error. Maybe they were going to use these reverse die and then saw the die was already cracking so just didn't bother making any even though they may have made a few sample ones (MOB) and then never got around to making any for circulation (mintage claimed 8000).
